Me:

Humans killed: 303.

I'm so un-sneaky, it's pretty sad.

Walk down the river past all the ghosts. Once you get to the end and drop dead, take the revival pill to come back to life.

Or, let yourself drown, and then take the pill

There is not a single thing that is horrible about The Boss and I will not hear anymore of this nonsense!

Easiest way I found for The Boss:


Mash buttons when she grabs you, there is a command that will get you out of her QCC, but I don't know what it is. I mash and get out 50% of the time, then hit her 3 times, x2, then shotgun her on the floor.
If her QCC is successful, jump up (you might take 1 shot from the Patriot), then run in a circle and punch her 3 times, x2.
I put on the Oyama and Snow camo, then dive away.
I crawl a bit, then wait.
Crouch, with Thermals and listen/look for her.
She's far away, give her 2 SVD's to the head, or an RPG to the floor next to her if I'm feeling lucky.
She'll then run at me for QCC. I unequip the weapon (or she'll gank it), then start the process over again.

Volgin was much tougher than The Boss was and once I did the above, I beat her after taking only 1 hit.

Beat the game this morning, it was amazing. I'm feeling the urge to go pick up Twin Snakes now and give that a run-through.

As the series progresses I'm getting into it more and more. #1 I could hardly stand, 2 I played through and thought it was pretty fun and 3 I thought was amazing. I imagine 4 is lined up to hit when PS3 comes out, right?

Finished it the other day. Best game of the series.

Few thoughts on the last part of the game:

The climax of this game just keeps going! You think its over, but its not, then you think its over again, but its not. Then you REALLY think its over, but not.

It gets so amazingly intense when Volgin hops in the Shagohod. When its chasing Snake and Eva when they are on the motorcycle was one of the coolest (if not THE coolest) part of the series. So intense.

The fight with the Shagohod in the field was so sweet too. The music in that cut scene and the way it plays out is so good. My favorite cut scene of the game. Hideo Kojima REALLY needs to direct a movie. He is so good at what he does.

The fight with the Boss was tough. It really forces you to use all the skills that you picked up during the game. And while it can get frusterating at first, once you get it down, its a great fight.

The ending itself was really bittersweet, and goes to show you that Big Boss was not really a bad guy in the first Metal Gear. He got dicked around so much by the Government(s) and politics, and eventually fought back.

One thing I really liked was how they played it straight for the whole game. Not once did things get confusing. Snake, here, gets his ass kicked constantly. And while he was a bad ass for some parts, they played him as a real person. He wasnt about doing the impossible acrobatics of Solid Snake in MGS: The Twin Snakes. And that was really nice, seeing a "human" character.

If this was the end of the series (I know its not going to be), I'd be totally happy. What a way to go out. I would love for them to remake Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, using what we know now.

But none the less, as good as Halo 2 and GTA: SA was, this is my personal favorite game of the year. It just does so much right, and packs an emotional punch I didn't get from the others. Maybe I liked it so much because with all the GTA and Halo 2 hype, this game fell off the radar, and how much of a let down MGS 2 was, I really didnt expect such a great experience. Either way, I loved it.

Well, thanks to the tip about The Sorrow I went on and finished the game today. Boss fight had to be by far the most beautiful stage I've ever fought in, and more than afew of em were in this game. But ignoring the beauty, it was a pain in the ass trying to find her in that field of white. Even in IR it was a pain, as the flowers all had head blumes. I think I tried that last stage 50 times before I finally worked out the way to killing her, and even then I got lucky and blocked her cqc technique then blasted her with the chain gun.

Launch +2 years at least, I would imagine.
